    New Ruger Precision Rimfire with ammo test

    Just finished putting together a new RPR. This is my first Ruger. I have been nothing but Savage in the past for rimfire rifles and had great success. After much debate I chose the RPR over a Savage MKII FVSR. I will leave out most of the factors of the decision making process. One of the main...

    NCAA Tourney pick em idea

    Was thinking of a way we could have a little fun with the tournament for a good cause. Will likely have to get the permission to proceed from a moderator but was curious if anyone would be interested. Let say we fill out brackets with a entry fee of no more than $10. If we could get enough...

    optimal 22LR bullet design

    Talking with a couple guys this week got me wondering about 22LR bullet designs and doing a little research (with little to be found). Basically in a nut shell we were talking about why we dont see new designs being released for the 22LR. Over the past few years we have seen success with the...

    Anyone have any experiene with these? Good or bad? I will be picking it up tomorrow or Thursday sometime. What ammo has ran good for you guys? I have all subsonic stuff.

    Building some targets, anyone use Hardox plate

    I have access to some 5/16" Hardox 500 and 600 plate left over from a few big jobs at work. Has anyone used this plate to make targets before? I have talked to a few of the shop guys and they assured me if 3/8" AR500 plate is being used with good luck then not to worry a damn bit about the 5/16"...

    Rifle Scopes PST reticle differences

    I was looking online at the different reticles before I placed my order and wanted to confirm something. I was looking at ordering a 6-24 SFP and I noticed on Vortex's website their reticle overview says it only has 10moa in the reticle. SFP is fine for the application I need but I really want...

    New 2012s???

    Seen CZ has a couple new rimfires available. Really like the new Precision Trainer. Good deal! When will other manufactures start putting their models out? I guess in Marlin's case we are still waiting on their claimed release of months ago. But as far as Savage, Remington and Ruger? Never paid...

    Short Action 284Win Experiences

    I would like to hear any experiences you guys have had with building a 284 Win on a short action. I am fully aware that it is not the best way to get the full potential out of the round. However, I felt like it would still be light years ahead of my 308 in terms of ballistic performance. I am...

    Range Report Alliant Power Pro Varmit

    Anyone have any experience with this powder? I bought 2 lbs to use in my 30-30 with 125gr Sierra HPs. It is a small spherical powder that is very similar to varget as far as velocity per grain weight. Advantage I seen was it takes up a hell of a lot less case capacity than Varget does. Alliant...
